Introduction to the Campaign Ambassador- Nathan Hartono

Mr Nathan Hartono is the 2020 Campaign Ambassador for the Committee to Promote Chinese Language Learning. A rising star in the Mando-pop world, Nathan originally debuted as a singer of English songs in 2005. He made his first foray into Chinese music in 2016, when he participated in the Chinese television singing competition Sing! China, finishing as Runner-Up. From his breakthrough rendition of “You Mei You” （《有没有》） to his electrifying mash up of The Eagles’ “Desperado” and “Wang Bu Liao” （《忘不了》）, Nathan has won critical acclaim and soaring popularity. Despite his professed lack of proficiency in the Chinese Language – something he now hopes to remedy, his perseverance in re-picking the language, and extra efforts put in to better understand the language, finally allowed him to be able to sing and won the heart of many, leading him to his final success. With radiant charisma and boy-next-door appeal, Nathan is uniquely poised to inspire our youths in learning the Chinese Language and embracing the joy of mastering it.
